Nanoliter introduces “world’s first” no-touch syringe

Mar. 22, 2007 — Nanoliter, LLC has introduced what it calls “the world’s first non-touch nanoliter syringe.” The product is based on induction based fluidics (IBF) technology, which uses electric fields to launch liquids to targets (including humans, animals, plants, vials, beakers, microscope slides, and scientific instruments) using common liquids such as glycerin, some glues, and whole human blood. “This simple, low cost, inkjet-like technology, requires essentially no training,” the company asserts.

The benefits of operating in the nanoliter space include reducing solvent, waste disposal costs, and human exposure by factors of 1000 x. New routine liquid handling capabilities include a purported 10 x increase in MALDI sensitivity for analysis of proteins in proteomics work, which the company says will be reported at the annual meeting of the American Society of Mass Spectrometry in June, 2007.
